Journal ArticleDOI
Tunneling hot electron transfer amplifiers (theta): Amplifiers operating up to the infrared
TL;DR: In this article, a family of novel three-terminal devices which rely on the transfer of a quasi-monoenergetic hot electron beam through a thin base is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Green's function solution to the image and multiple image interactions for hyperboloidal geometry: Application to metallic pointcontact infrared detectors
TL;DR: Using the Mehler-Fock transformation to solve Poisson's equation in prolate spheroidal coordinates, this paper obtained an exact Green's function solution for all multiple image corrections to the vacuum tunneling barrier.

Point-contact diodes
H. D. Riccius,Klaus J. Siemsen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, point contact diodes based either on the mechanism of electronic tunnelling through an insulating barrier or on the thermoelectric effect of hot carriers in heavily doped semiconductors are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new mechanism for high‐frequency rectification at low temperatures in point contacts between identical metals
TL;DR: In this paper, high-frequency (∼ THz) radiation detection by metal-metal point contacts at low temperatures as a function of bias voltage was reported, and the dominant detection mechanism can be attributed to rectification due to electron-phonon-scattering induced nonlinearity of the I•V characteristics, a process not observed before.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic electron tunneling study of the metal-insulator transition in TTF-TCNQ
TL;DR: Using a single crystal of TTF-TCNQ as a moving electrode and by approaching to to an oxidized Al counter-electrode, this article realized tunnel junctions in the temperature range of about 30 to 295 K.
